Arriving in Gdansk on the evening of April 26, the final-year students (BFI and German Studies) participating in the accredited Polish Spring 2026 mobility program visited the neighborhood of their hotel in Gdansk on the morning of Monday, April 27. The sixteen participating students and their teachers, Mr. Vanderplancke and Mr. Puyjalon, were then joined by their counterparts from the Kwidzyn high school to visit Westerplatte, the site where the Second World War began, before noon. 
It was a very full first day, as after a typical meal together in a downtown restaurant (the discovery of which was facilitated by presentations given by the Kwidzyn students), the afternoon was devoted to a visit to the Solidarity Center. Tuesday the 28th's agenda was dominated by socialization workshops and integration into the partner high school. However, cultural enrichment was not neglected (quite the contrary, the students and their teachers undertook a transnational visit to Kwidzyn Cathedral). Educational workshops (a continuation of the initial work begun the previous day) were held on Wednesday the 29th, but above all, an "evening" included games and playful collaborations (cooking, meals, quizzes, and dancing – which was a fitting coincidence, as the 29th was International Dance Day).
The study of the history of the Holocaust and the Second World War was the focus of activities on Thursday, April 30th (visits to the Stutthof concentration camp and the Gdansk Museum dedicated to the conflict).
To further explore resilience and conclude the exchange with a more touristic experience, the group traveled to the seaside resort of Sopot on May 1st, before heading to the airport for a flight after 6 p.m. to Bordeaux, via Amsterdam.
